NOVEL PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF POLYACETYLENE DERIVATIVES

摘要

A process for the production of polyacetylene derivatives by which polyacetylene derivatives having an ability to discriminate asymmetry can be easily obtained in a few steps and in high yield and which is also advantageous in respects of economical efficiency, environmental problems, a nd so on. This process is characterized by polymerizing an acetylene derivative having a hydrophilic functional group in an aqueous solvent in the presence of a water-soluble transition metal complex catalyst and a base.
